Physicians Have Round Out

That communicating and foreign ele-
ment in the blood, developed by indi-
gestion, is the cause of rheumatism.
This settles upon the sensitive sub
cutaneous covering of the muscles and
ligaments OF the joints, causing con-
slant and shifting pain, and aggregat
ing as a cslcareous, chalky deposit,
which produces stiffness and distortion
of the joints. Nofact which experience
has demonstrated in regard to Hostel
tiers Stomach Bitters has stronger evil
dence to support than this, namely,
that this medicine of comprehensive
uses checks the formidable and afro
cious disease, nor is it less positively
established that it is preferable to the
poisons often used to arrest it, since the
medicine contains only salutary ingre-
dents. 1t is also a signal remedy for
malarial feI ers, constipation, dys-
pepsia, kidney and bladder ailments,
debility and other disorders. See that

young politician from the City Hall was
echoing the sentiments of Henry Wat
terson, and defending the principle
that the spoils belong to the victor. II
see no reason" said he, why any
K publican should be kept in a Federal
office here in Boston while [, Demo-.
graf, who have worked hard for the
party, am left out in the cold" That
remin me, said an elderly man whom
al the town would recognize if l were to
describe him, "of an incident that
heard OF early IN Lincoln's admin stra-
ton. There was local politician who
went on to Washington to get an office
that he felt sure only awaited mis- appli-
cation to be given TO him. In couple

can't give you that, can tell you &
story" We thought best to hear the
story and let him go on. "Once there
was certain king" he said, who kept
an astrologer to fOrewarn him conf 2
events, and esp cially to tell blm
whether it was going to rain when
wanted 10 60 on hunting eXj editions
One day he had started Offfor the fores,
with his train of ladies and lords for
grand hunt, when the train met
farmer, riding donkey, on the rad.
'GOod-mornlng, farmer, said the king.
Good-mornlng, king said the farmer;
where are you foiEs g0ing?' Hunting,
said the king. Lord, you'll all get wetp
said the farmer. the king trusted his
aStrolOger, OF course, and went to the
forest, but by midday there came on a
terrific storm, that drenched and
bIffeted the wfole party. When the
king returned his palace he bad the
astrologer deeapItated, and sent for the
farmer TO take his place. Laws sake
says the farmer wnen be arrived, 1T
amt me that knows when it's goin' to
rain, it's my donkey. When it's goin'
to be fair weather, that donkey always
carries his ears forward SO When it's
goin' to rain, he puts 'em. back, so.
Make the donkey the court astrologer!
shouted the king. It was cone. But
the king always declared that that
was the greatest mistake
he ever made il his life Lincoln
stopped there. why did he say it was
a mistake?" we a ked him. Didn't
the donkey do his duty?'' Yes said
the President but after that timeegerv
donkey in the country wanted an

echoed from the hotel corridor at the
telling of this narrative would have
made the fortune of two or three en-
tirely new stories. Boston Post.
